The following two excursions are prepared on this occasion, both unique to Tochigi, and providing experiences that you can’t get as a tourist and only through arrangement by specialists:
- Option 1: “Thinking about development through the Ashio Copper Mine Issue”

We encourage you to register for excursions simultaneously with your early conference registration. Further information regarding the excursions will be shared in due course.
